A warm hello.
On the equinox, Thursday, the Sun will follow Mars into Libra.
Libra vibes steer our thoughts to our relationships – underlying clashes with others, connections we’d like to nurture, situations that need to change; seeing the big picture will help us find new lines of communication that are expansive, enlightening, fruitful and constructive.
Wishing you joy,
​Karen

A warm hello.
In the next 7 days, first there’ll be a focus on the financial and practical considerations of your plans and problems; it will be helpful to think outside the square.  
​Then the Full Moon in Pisces will bring a situation that tests and develops your intuition or gut instinct.
ARIES.   Bringing fun plans to fruition or doing something you’ve wanted to do for ages may involve a few practical compromises and extra expenses but it’ll be a joy and in an unusual way, a learning experience!   The Full Moon will bring an old issue or problem to the fore; you’ll need to see it from a new perspective, to find a better way to deal with it.   A thought-provoking insight or revelation will answer a question that’s been on your mind.
TAURUS.   It will be full steam ahead with an ambitious career or creative endeavour; there’ll be much to learn as you go, it may also cost a pretty penny!   A fun invitation or connection with another will be meaningful for you; it will foster a new romance or friendship.   Good news or something to celebrate will add a special sparkle to your days.
GEMINI.   Big plans with a distant relative or friend will take a new turn; there’ll be new contingencies to take into account.   Getting out and about or exploring a fun different place will bring interesting discoveries.   A special dream or goal you really believe in will require a concerted effort but you’ll need to sift through intuitively, confusing advice from a colleague and a complex job or personal issue, to make important decisions.
CANCER.   You’ll need to see the big picture whilst taking care of details with complex financial issues and plans; a challenging juggle!   An informative exchange with a knowledgeable person will guide you with an evolving new project, a discovery will point the way with a subject that fascinates you and there’ll be a success that has special personal meaning.
LEO.   Special plans with someone dear will need tweaking – dotting every ‘ I’ and costing them carefully will ensure you’re on the same page!   A one-off expense will come from the heart.   There’ll be a complex situation to address with another too; balancing your differences will bring light and understanding.
VIRGO.   A challenging task or situation on the job will be an opportunity to impress.   A family occasion will require insightful efforts - to lead a changing situation or challenging relationship in a new direction and to build bridges in family relations.
LIBRA.   A long-awaited meeting or reunion will require a thoughtful approach. The cost of something you really want to do may be uncertain; you’ll need to do your research.   There’ll be a job situation where you need to feel your way.   Health-wise, a calm inner centre will give you greater energy resources.
SCORPIO.   Domestic or family plans will preoccupy you; you’ll need to calculate the costs and address complex factors thoroughly.  With an unusual family issue or situation, there’ll be very different points of view to reconcile.   A special occasion or get-together will have subtle emotional layers; tuning in will give you valuable insights.
SAGITTARIUS.   Putting a bold career or personal plan into action will take initiative and practical follow through with a mass of details; there’ll also be unusual options to explore.   A family occasion or duty will bring subtle issues to the surface; step lightly, you may be treading on eggshells.
CAPRICORN.   A financial opportunity or undertaking will be exciting but it will have challenging aspects; it will be helpful to clarify your priorities.   With something you’re keen to buy and unfinished financial business, taking time to investigate all your options will serve you.   A timely and meaningful conversation will answer many questions.
AQUARIUS.   Property business or a domestic project will require clear objectives and careful organisation; there’ll be drawn out factors to work through.   A vision for the future will be built on something you’ve wanted for a long time; thinking outside the square will help you achieve it.   With an expensive purchase or important financial decision, you’ll need to trust your gut instinct to guide you.
PISCES.   Sorting out an unresolved financial matter will take patience.   New ideas with a family or domestic undertaking will take it in a new direction.   The Full Moon with Neptune in your Zodiac Sign will bring a sensitive emotional or family issue to a head; handled positively, this could bring a turning point.

A warm hello.
Mars will charge into Libra this week, joining Mercury the planet of communication; it will linger there until Oct. 31.
During this time, we’ll need to think about our relationships and how we communicate – the tone of voice we use and the words we choose, so we are aware of how others receive what we say.   We will feel a pressure to clarify where we stand in some situations, address issues that are causing tensions, ask unspoken questions and lead the way with evolving relationships and it will be in challenging conversations that greater awareness will serve us and help us to achieve positive results. 
Wishing you joy,
​Karen

​A warm hello.
This will be a passionate weekend!   You’ll work on relationships of importance to you and engage in issues or endeavours you feel strongly about.    Passion can be blinding though – avoid over-reacting to others and trying to force issues.   Next week, distracting or diverse conditions could fragment your efforts.
​
ARIES.   An emotional outlay will come from the heart – you’ll splurge on something meaningful or to support someone dear!   Emotional issues or tensions could erupt though; you’ll need to re-evaluate a relationship or how you want to deal with a complex emotional situation.   Next week, distractions on the job could interrupt the flow and take you off on tangents.
TAURUS.   You’ll pour emotional energy into sharing something special with a loved one, supporting a loved one and showing how much you care; through this, you’ll understand their world better and your caring actions will speak louder than words.   Conversely, a clash or upset with someone dear could stir you up; step lightly to put it behind you.   Next week, keep tabs on financial outlays; unexpected expenses could take funds out fast!
GEMINI.   You’ll work hard at something you love; it’ll be a true labour of love, and your passion will inspire creative ideas and enthusiasm that bring exceptional results!   Someone may ask too much of you though or not be very appreciative of your efforts – don’t let their attitude get under your skin.   Next week, a string of chores for your partner or a relative may keep you running all over the place.
CANCER.   A romance or friendship will grow to a new level but there’ll be subtle emotional issues or differences to reconcile along the way   Watch a tendency to become a little too intense!   Next week, there’ll be sudden extra tasks and awkward little hassles to deal with.
LEO.   A special family or domestic purchase will be a joy.   A sensitive family situation will test your people skills but you’ll be in a position to make a big difference.   Next week, there’ll be awkward aspects to a fun but meaningful occasion to sort out and extra costs to absorb.
VIRGO.   An insightful exchange with a loved one will be an opportunity to build understanding, it will also leave you with much to think about.   Conversely, a personality clash or emotional differences with a relative too far away will need soothing.   Next week, diverse family and domestic duties or unexpected happenings on the home front will keep you running from pillar to post.
LIBRA.   A gift or new possession will have tender significance.   Meaningful or sentimental outlays will put pressure on the budget though; it will be hard to be objective with these!   Next week, challenging conversations will call for you to see very different points of view; accepting some differences will be the only way to move forward.
SCORPIO.   A special meeting or long-awaited exchange will be highly charged emotionally; it’ll offer new potential in this relationship.   A situation where you’re at odds with those around you will need calm defusing.   Next week, you could splash money around here, there and everywhere!
SAGITTARIUS.   A reunion will bring a wave of nostalgia; alternatively, connecting with someone you’re missing will touch tender chords.   An old hurt or disappointment from the past could resurface; handled positively, it will be a chance to heal.   Next week, a surprise turn of events may throw you into a spin.
CAPRICORN.   Embracing a creative or fun interest that’s become a passion will be a joy every step of the way.   A developing friendship or work association will be a ‘two steps forward, one step back’ process.   Next week, there’ll be an opportune moment to clear up a misunderstanding and stay focused when you’re tackling unfinished business, it will be easy to get side-tracked.
AQUARIUS.   You’ll pour energy into a project that’s a mission of the heart and there’ll be much to learn as you go.   Relations with a relative or colleague may be touchy; there’ll be situations where it’s better to listen than speak.   Next week, extra spending will take money out in all directions and too many fingers in too many pies will scatter your resources.
PISCES.   Reconnecting with a distant loved one will be a joy but old tensions or awkward issues could arise too; keep your cool to dissolve these.   Next week, inconvenient chores and requests could ask a lot of you; work to your priorities, which may mean saying ‘no’ sometimes or letting some things go.

A warm hello.
It’s time for the hair-cutting dates for Spring.
It feels good when your hair is strong and healthy, so why not try cutting your hair by the Moon cycles?
All you have to do is trim your hair, once a month, when the Moon is waxing and in a fertile Zodiac sign.   It’s simple and it’s easy, but you do have to be consistent.

Sept. 11, 12
Oct. 8, 9, 17, 18
Nov. 5, 13, 14

In the next 7 days, the new Moon, Sun and Mars, all in Virgo, the same division of the heavens, is a powerful accent!   I spoke about this in your monthly forecast, it is one of Sept.’s features, and I’d like to expand on this now.   Remember, Mars represents action but also challenges and conflict, the Sun with Mars will bring an intense energy focus and the New Moon represents a bold new beginning.   So…

GEMINI.   You’ll pour energy and money into ambitious domestic or family plans and take charge; there’ll be big decisions, much to organise and family arguments or conflicts of interest between family members to reconcile as you go.   There’ll also be domestic working bees and vigorous family activities – you’ll achieve special goals on the home or family front!
CANCER.   You’ll get your teeth into a bold new project; your ideas and vision will shape it, it may also be expensive or involve complicated financial planning.   You may travel extra distances, explore a new place, pour energy and money into travel plans or you’ll give of your best to help a distant friend or relative or foster a long-distance relationship.
LEO.   You’ll pour energy into making money, getting exciting but expensive plans off the ground, buying practical useful things and exploring different options with a financial opportunity or undertaking; sorting out some drawn out financial business will require patience.   Also, you may spend more on your car, electrical or mechanical things or devices.
VIRGO.   You will be a driving force, keen to get your plans up and running!   There’ll be a promise or drawn-out commitment to see through, a financial undertaking or issue that requires diligent attention to details, you’ll stand up for something you believe in and reconnect with people from the past.   You’ll also push yourself with a physical pursuit to get fitter, strong or leaner.
 LIBRA.   There’ll be a long-term undertaking that’s a work in progress, a slow-moving situation or task that takes discipline, conditions and commitments that tie you down, an old frustration or problem that requires fresh positive action and prickles of annoyance with family members to soothe.   A reunion will hold a meaningful opportunity.
SCORPIO.   You’ll embrace a fun pursuit or special personal interest and set exciting goals!   Meeting like-minded people will fan your enthusiasm and as you explore your options, exciting discoveries will offer new possibilities!   A colleague will become a good friend.   In some ways it will be ‘who you know, not what you know’ – helpful contacts will be worth their weight in gold!
SAGITTARIUS.   A grand professional or personal project will be a chance to show more of what you can do, it should also bring financial benefits.   PR will take a special effort or you could clash with some colleagues.   Conversely, social exchanges with associates will lay the foundations for new friendships.   Singles, attraction could flare with someone you admire.
CAPRICORN.   Travel plans, going to new places or embarking on an interest or study programme that opens up new worlds will broaden your horizons.   You’ll make an effort to connect with distant relatives or friends.   There’ll be legal matters or documents to work through and financially, there’ll be new ideas and prospects to investigate.
AQUARIUS.   Pondering your life’s purpose will spark inspiring personal dreams and goals.   There’ll be big financial plans, tasks, issues and expenses to tackle; seeing the big picture whilst doing your homework will give you the information you need to guide you through.   A long-distance exchange will be a caring reconnection.
PISCES.   A family event or project, or an important change or opportunity for someone dear, will launch exciting plans or a big new commitment; you’ll pour a lot of energy into your relationships and supporting others.   In a changing situation, it will be up to you to set the tone; step lightly to ease the way.   A financial boost will give you a lift.

A warm hello.
There are 3 things that you should know about Sept…
The New Moon, Sun and Mars in Virgo - an area of concentrated action in your life.
A growing Libra emphasis - a relationship opportunity, defining conversations.
The Full Moon with Neptune - issues/situations where you need to trust your instinct.
Here’s your forecast for the month:

A warm hello.
​
The Moon in Taurus in the days ahead adds to the strong Earth Sign accent – there’ll be 6 Earth Signs!   This is a time to let clear practical priorities guide your decisions and actions!   Next week, there’ll be a joyful personal highlight or good news but also some confusing problems, distractions and changeable conditions to deal with.

ARIES.   There may need to be practical compromises with a special purchase or financial deal to bring it to fruition.   A heart-to-heart with someone dear will be insightful and helpful.   Complications or interruptions with a demanding task or situation will require patience and persistence.
TAURUS.   A sudden opportunity to pursue an interest or do something that’s especially important to you will require a snap decision; be clear on your objectives to make the most of it.   Something to celebrate or a fun occasion will be meaningful emotionally.   A surge of outlays could be an awkward financial juggle.
GEMINI.   A discovery or realisation may change your view of a family situation or a relationship that goes way back and shape how you approach the next chapter.   A surprise turn of events will hold a meaningful opportunity, it may also be fun or romantic!   Sudden hassles or problems with a domestic or family undertaking will test your ingenuity.
CANCER.   A surprise call, encounter or offer from another will be a meaningful opportunity to reconnect and build a better understanding.   A domestic improvement or acquisition will please you.   You’ll be treading on eggshells with a difficult conversation though; listen carefully, it will help you find the best line of communication.
LEO.   A bold financial or career enterprise will require vision, underpinned with careful research and a clear understanding of the road ahead.   A providential encounter or exchange will leave you smiling.   Unexpected expenses or impulsive outlays could play havoc with the budget.
VIRGO.   A discovery will reset your priorities and goals with an exciting new personal endeavour.   Fun romantic vibes could refresh your love-life.   On the job, there’ll be a breakthrough with an ambitious project but relations with a colleague could be up in the air or there may be a situation where you don’t know where you stand; be patient, time will answer all your questions.
LIBRA.   A financial question that’s been on your mind will be answered, clearing the way to move forward with your plans.   The chance to open positive lines of communication with someone you’d like to develop a connection with, will be a joy.   A frustrating situation that needs further clarification or explanation will require thoroughness.
SCORPIO.   An unusual undertaking with a friend or relative will prompt you to re-evaluate your relationship.   Good new financially will give you a boost but be prepared, there’ll also be extra inconvenient expenses.
SAGITTARIUS.   An unusual task, opportunity or situation on the job will showcase your resourcefulness.   An open exchange with a colleague or friend will be most informative, it will also establish a warmer connection.   A challenging family issue or task will ask a lot of you.
CAPRICORN.   There’ll be unusual aspects to a special outing, undertaking or discussion to work around.   Good news or a helpful exchange with a colleague will point the way with a new project   A sudden change of plans or awkward request may put you into a spin; flexibility will help you handle this well.
AQUARIUS.   Clarifying your budget with a special domestic project or purchase will make your decisions easier.   An expansive exchange with a loved one will nurture your relationship and spark fun new plans.   There’ll be unusual expenses to absorb though and awkward tensions with another to defuse.
PISCES.   Surprise news from another will reveal where your relationship is going; you may need to adjust your approach.   A sentimental family exchange or beautifying your home will make you happy.   Don’t get caught in the middle of a family difference though; this is the time to sit on the fence.

A warm hello.
Emotions will run high with the Pisces Moon/Neptune in the coming days.
As the Sun will move into Virgo too, this will feel like a full moon, with sensitive issues surfacing and emotional situations or exchanges.  
The good thing about a Pisces accent though is that it will heighten understanding and compassion, intuition and inspiration if we make a conscious effort to come from our higher selves.
Wishing you joy,
​Karen

A warm hello.
In the next 7 days, there’ll be a powerful Full Moon in Aquarius - last month’s Full Moon was also in Aquarius but this one will join both Jupiter and Saturn.   Saturn’s accent will mean coming to terms with a reality, Jupiter’s presence denotes a 2nd chance, a belated opportunity or stroke of good fortune.   The Sun moving into Virgo, joining Mercury and Mars, means a growing accent on a particular aspect of your life!
​
ARIES.   A friendship, work association or relations with an in-law will change direction; if you want to preserve or develop the connection between you, you’ll need to work on it.   A lucky break or surprise opportunity will give you a lift.   A health pursuit or physical task will call for a bigger commitment.

VIRGO.   Work and/or family commitments could weigh heavily; stepping up will show how much they mean to you.   A fresh approach to a health pursuit could bring a breakthrough!   You’ll have to feel your way through unsettled relations with a relative or someone close.   A situation or undertaking where it’s time to take more control will show you at your best.
